Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical fields of optics and optoelectronics, in particular to a method for improving the optical quality of a grating external cavity laser. Background technique [0002] Grating external cavity laser is a kind of tunable laser source made with external diffraction grating as feedback and mode selection element. This type of laser source has the advantages of small size, high efficiency, narrow linewidth, and wide-range tunable wavelength. It is widely used in optical fiber communication, high-resolution spectral analysis, metrology detection, biomedicine, environmental monitoring and other fields. Among them, spectral linewidth is an important feature of grating external cavity laser, which mainly depends on the gain, loss and guided wave characteristics of the entire optical system. [0003] Due to the optical mode of the gain device in the system and many factors such as dispersion, distortion, and aberration of the ...
